Its strength is that it was composed within a generation of Norbert's death by members of the Premonstratensian order he founded. Its limit is that, like most medieval vitae, it was written to promote its subject's sanctity and the standing of his order rather than as neutral biography.FactsCross-Tradition ConnectionsClaims Backed By This Source (10 claims)Comments (0)Reader Challenges (0 open reader challenges)FactsCitationAuthorWell-attestedAnonymous Premonstratensian canon (trans.
